E353. Why Free Speech Is Dying and How to Save It - Greg Lukianoff

Greg Lukianoff returns to the podcast as he and Bridget spotlight the battle for free speech and why it’s dying in many areas of the world. They discuss suing the Trump administration over a shady deportation policy, AI’s potential for tyranny in places like China and Iran, people who are pro-free speech until it’s someone who’s not on their team, the free speech disaster happening in Europe and Canada, why free speech is a problem of comfort, why Greg is funding experiments in AI that defend free speech and viewpoint diversity, and why free speech is an eternally radical idea that must be continuously fought for.
